I'm really liking this story. However, as I said before, just like in the case of Frankenstein, the written story is a lot different than the pop culture story we are all familiar with. There's a lot more philosophical and anthropological endeavours than the mere aging portrait.

I was absolutely loving the story, characters, interactions, plot, etc. and then chapter 11 happened. I gave up twice before coming back with stubborn drive to just get the chapter out of the way. So much detailed information on Dorian's obsessions, it was soul suckingly exhausting.

I've known the story, or, better, the main points of the story, and yet, reading this is very different to what I'd thought it'd be. I feel the same way I felt when reading the story of Frankenstein. It seems like in both cases, the soul of the stories has been stripped away from the pop culture remnants that we all are familiar with. Shame really, but wonderful to read.
